The majority of villages in rural India currently experience intermittent electricity supply, with nearly 10 hours of load shedding. Consequently, many agricultural activities must be performed manually. We have developed a multi-crop thresher for crops such as wheat, jowar, bajra, barley, and particularly corn, which will be operated using a bicycle. Additionally, we have included an automated screening system, enabling the threshed food to be screened and cleaned mechanically, therefore providing farmers with grains that are suitable for packaging, thereby save significant human effort, time, and costs. This study addresses the issue encountered by farmers in the separation of seeds from sunflowers. Farmers use manual techniques owing to the lack of appropriate technology for sunflower threshing. The most time-intensive and laborious task in manual sunflower production is threshing, which involves striking the sunflower heads with a stick, rubbing them against a coarse metal surface, or using a motorized tiller. The objective of the project is to construct a machine that will segregate the seeds from the sunflower. The primary components need for the machine's fabrication are blades, shaft, pulley, disk plates, blower, hopper, tray, sieves, motor, V-belt, and pillow block bearings.
